  1. Internet Safety Family Sciences

  2. Goals • To increase student knowledge of Internet safety • To aid the student in identifying dangers on the Internet • To build critical-thinking and decision-making skills relating to computer usage • To help students protect themselves from inappropriate behavior online

  3. Objectives • By the end of this training, students will be able to: • Identify five types of personal information • Identify types of online threats • Identify appropriate people for communication • Identify how to protect themselves from inappropriate Internet behavior

  4. Appropriate Websites • Feel embarrassed or uncomfortable with what you see – tell adult • What are examples of inappropriate websites

  5. Appropriate Email and Messages • Do not open email from strangers • Do not open email with attachments • Do not give out email address (unless approved or to a classmate) • Do not open links or files from people you don’t know. • Never respond to e-mails with pornographic or other inappropriate material. • Do not respond to advertisements - this confirms that you have a working e-mail account, and you will only receive more junk e-mails.

  6. Giving Out Information • Do Not Give Out Personal Information • Name • Where you live – city or address • Telephone Number • Birthdate • Height • Weight • Photo • Parent’s name • School

  7. Appropriate Information • Likes and Dislikes • Be careful of online names – don’t give TMI in name • Sunygrl14 • Sweetie15 • Goldguy17 • 90tampa

  8. Information Continued • Be careful in joining mailing lists, some may make your personal information public • Newsgroups, Forums, and Bulletin Boards – remember not to slip and say anything that can reveal your identity age (little pieces of info can be put together over time)

  9. Example • You give out your school colors, and two conversations ago you said you were from a town by Seattle, and in another conversation you said the school mascot was the hawk – and you’ve just told someone where you are

  10. Information • Profiles – be sure they do not reveal your town, name, school, • Website – if you build a website – do not put any specific information on it (even code that isn’t displayed can be read by anyone) Do not register it with your name

  11. Meeting People Online • If someone asks to meet you – tell an adult immediately • Chat rooms are particularly dangerous - people you meet in chat rooms can easily be adult "predators" with misleading names such as “jason15” “cutiepie08” • Never arrange a face-to-face meeting with someone you meet online • (You have no way of really knowing if that person is a 15 year old boy – or a 50 year old man.)

  12. To sum it all UP • Your personal password is your own special identity, so keep it secret and only share it with a parent or guardian. (Change it often) Summary – talk with adults about what you are doing on the Internet and have an agreement with your parents or guardian
